1 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | Godinus | 223837 | ||
Beja What I am saying is you have a doctrine you believe clsx2 has his doctrine. Both seem to be mutually exclusive. Through this "divisive search for truth" concerning the subject now under discussion what would be the truth which you are seeking? My point being if you could be brought to the point of accepting the doctrine of clsx2 what else within your doctrinal belief structure would also have to change? Would you not concur that once a person has used wood, hay, stubble, in their building that there would be a grater likelihood that they would continue to use those building materials? The wood, hay, stubble being representative of false doctrine and thereby leading them to deception. There have been two definitive answers to the question "YES" "NO" they are diametrically opposed. I say answer the question as best it can be answered by each side then allow God through the Holy Spirit to impress upon the heart of the one asking the question which answer to accept. In the debating of these issues neither side ever changes their doctrinal belief is this because the search for truth isn't as high on the agenda as the defense of one's doctrine because both sides are coming to the table with the truth as they believe it to be so neither side in the debate is looking for truth per se they both already possess the truth it then again becomes a defense of doctrine.

2 | is water-baptism needed for salvation? | Eph 2:8 | Beja | 223839 | ||
Godinus, I understand what you are saying. However, while I probably have no chance to convince clsx2, there are literally hundreds of people who frequent these forums to read them but never ever post. Among those people are some that read a post such as clsx2's and wonder how to respond to a verse such as what he referred to. Sometimes even when I have no expectation to persuade the person I'm speaking to, I post for the sake of the silent readers. In Christ, Beja |
